Summary

Introduction

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by an abnormal long-term increase in plasma glucose levels. Diabetes is mainly classified into four types, i.e., type I diabetes (T1DM), type II diabetes (T2DM), gestational diabetes, and specific types of diabetes due to other causes (American Diabetes Association, 2019). Many factors, such as insulin deficiency or resistance as well as altered carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolisms, are usually the reasons for high blood glucose levels leading to DM. Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases, and it has shown an increasing rate of occurrence over the past decade (Bullard et al, 2018). The incidence of other metabolic diseases, such as hyperlipidemia, is increasing rapidly (Karr, 2017)
